dh-make-perl

helper for creating Debian packages from perl modules

dh-make-perl will create the files required to build a Debian source package out of a perl package. This works for most simple packages and is also useful for getting started with packaging perl modules. Given a perl package name, it can also automatically download it from CPAN. dh-make-perl can also help keeping the debian/ content current when upstream dependencies or Debian practices change. It can also help improve existing Perl module packages. Includes the cpan2deb and cpan2dsc flavours.
